Product details
Overview
S9S08RN48W1VLF from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale) is an 8-bit S08 MCU with 48 KB flash, 4 KB RAM, and 256-byte EEPROM with ECC, operating at up to 20 MHz bus frequency across –40 °C to 125 °C. It integrates ADC (12-bit, 16-channel), three FTM modules, three SCI/UARTs, I²C, SPI, TSI, ACMP, RTC, and watchdog - designed for automotive body control, industrial sensor nodes, and motor control interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the S9S08RN48W1VLF datasheet, S9S08RN48W1VLF pinout, S9S08RN48W1VLF application, or S9S08RN48W1VLF equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated package mapping (48-pin LQFP), confirmed peripheral timing, thermal resistance (θJA = 81 °C/W on single-layer board), and two documented alternative parts with functional and packaging distinctions.
Technical Context
The S9S08RN48W1VLF uses an S08 CPU core with four-level nested interrupt support and up to 40 interrupt/reset sources. Its clock system combines an external crystal oscillator (XOSC) and an internal clock source (ICS) with FLL, enabling precise 1–20 MHz operation with ±2% DCO deviation over –40 °C to 125 °C.
System protection includes independent watchdog clock, low-voltage detection with configurable trip points (e.g., VLVDH = 4.2–4.4 V), illegal opcode/address reset, and flash/RAM access protection. Debug is enabled via single-wire BDM interface with three breakpoints and on-chip ICE module supporting nine trigger modes.

FAQ
What is the maximum bus frequency supported by the S9S08RN48W1VLF?
The S9S08RN48W1VLF supports a maximum bus frequency of 20 MHz across its full operating voltage range (2.7–5.5 V) and temperature range (–40 °C to +125 °C). This is achieved using the internal clock source (ICS) with FLL, or via external crystal oscillator (XOSC) with appropriate configuration. The 20 MHz limit applies regardless of whether code executes from flash or RAM.
Does the S9S08RN48W1VLF include hardware CRC support?
Yes, the S9S08RN48W1VLF includes a dedicated programmable cyclic redundancy check (CRC) module. It supports configurable polynomial, data width (8/16/32-bit), and initial seed value, enabling efficient integrity checking of flash contents, communication packets, or configuration data without CPU overhead.
Can the S9S08RN48W1VLF operate from a 3.3 V supply?
Yes, the S9S08RN48W1VLF operates over a supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V, fully supporting 3.3 V nominal systems. At 3.3 V, it maintains full functionality including 20 MHz bus operation, ADC accuracy, and I/O drive strength - with VOH ≥ VDD – 0.8 V and VOL ≤ 0.8 V under specified load conditions.
How many UART/SCI modules does the S9S08RN48W1VLF integrate?
The S9S08RN48W1VLF integrates three independent serial communication interface (SCI) modules, each supporting full-duplex NRZ UART operation with optional 13-bit break detection and LIN protocol extensions. SCI0 is multiplexed on PTA0/PTA1; SCI1 and SCI2 are assigned to PTC pins, enabling concurrent communication with multiple subsystems.
Is the S9S08RN48W1VLF pin-compatible with other RN-series MCUs in the same package?
Yes, the S9S08RN48W1VLF is pin-compatible with the S9S08RN32W1VLF and S9S08RN60W1VLF in the 48-pin LQFP package (LF suffix). All share identical pin assignments, electrical characteristics, and peripheral mappings - enabling firmware reuse and scalable memory selection without PCB revision.
